“ Gave it 5 stars for atmosphere. But that's not why you go. Some of the best tacos in Decatur. ”
“ Carne Asada Fries here is where it's at. Nice balance of steak to potato ratio. I always ask for pico de Gallo on mine which helps cut down grease from the queso. ”
“ Always great service and smiling faces. Really good people running this restaurant. Best Mexican food in Decatur. I love it because there's dine in, take out, or drive through. Makes it very convenient if you are in a hurry. They also have really great prices. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE ”
“ The food is truly authentic Mexican food. Not only is it authentic, but it is also delicious. This was a favorite of mine when i lived in the area. We always go out of our way to stop here on our 8 hour trips to visit family. This is a small family owned business that has been here for many years. The family all have great customer service skills and are very professional. Everything is good! Be sure to mention how you want your tacos dressed though, they have Mexican street style and American style. ”
“ Heavenly. Truly. Fantastic Tacos & Burritos at a low price, with good portions. ”
“ This walk up/drive thru was everything I hoped it would be. I recently started a new job in town and asked a friend who knows how I feel about tacos where I should go. She didn't steer me wrong. The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly. This will be the place I go to satisfy my weekly taco craving. ”
“ This review is in reference to the El Palomino food truck that’s located on Danville Park Drive, SW. The customer service was great! I didn’t have cash on hand so I had to use Apple Pay and the gentleman from the back explained kindly to me that there’s a fee for debit/ credit card transactions because my total was a little bit more than what was previously told to me. It wasn’t a problem for me at all! All of the employees were kind and very friendly. They’re open Tuesday - Sunday (11 am - 8 pm). Please stop by and get some of the great food they have! The horchata was delicious as well as the grilled chicken meal that I ordered. I’ve eaten at the main location on 6th Avenue many times before and I’ve never had any problems. You won’t regret it! ”
“ Fantastic authentic Mexican food. This is amongst the top in the whole state of Alabama. Comparable to California Mexican food. And on top of the excellent quality, there’s a drive thru! ”
